Though one could argue posing in front of fake snow for a few minutes would be less wasteful vis-a-vis energy (e.g. avtur), time, and money than flying entire family to the North Pole for selfies in real snow.
Perhaps that's why American parents have been taking their children to sit on Santa's lap for mall photos for well over a century.
I can't seem to find "Humans Seeking Penguins" in the personals/classifieds section. ;)

Itchy or irritable throat is a telltale sign of allergy.
Fungal spore allergies via mold on windows & walls may not be the entire problem.
Allergen of dust mites, not just mold, are quite common. Both thrive even in moist 40-50% humidity levels. Dust mites most often accumulate on damp pillows and bed sheets, causing allergic reactions upon contact with the skin. On average we sweat 150 - 200ml of water every night. So best to wash & dry pillow cover and bed sheets often.
If said allergies aren't the cause of your wife's irritable throat yet dryness is. Perhaps place a miniature humidifier on her side of the nightstand. Localized vapor mist for your wife when heater is turned on highest for the baby during the coldest wee hours.
Like Miniso, Carrefour and Walmart are also participating in Unionpay's 60rmb minus 30 promotion using the bank apps. Small humidifiers may be sold. I've seen various miniature humidifiers at Nome (Nordic style version of Miniso).
Both Miniso and Nome are participating in aforementioned 昆明广场's 50%-off event from 12/15-12/24. I believe the shopping center at 财富中心 near Metro is holding similar 5折 store event via Meituan in coming days from 12/12-12/15.
I've recently witnessed ladies sporting hand-held, blue LED-lit portable humidifiers, jetting moisture directly to their faces. lol Perhaps keep an eye out for those during X'mas shopping.
Life is too short for "cheap long underwear." This X'mas, pamper yourself with Uniqlo's Heattech LifeWear. Featuring cutting-edge microfiber ten times finer than the human hair. Neither waste of money nor being wasteful.
Agreed. Sometimes quality can be acquired at a discount if you know where & when to look.
On Wednesday (12/12), those with UnionPay (银联) app or UnionPay via major bank apps can deduct:
50 from 100rmb at Uniqlo
50 off 100 at GAP
30 off 60 at Miniso
20 from 40 at Watsons
^Above-mentioned businesses are actual b&m stores in Kunming.

Also next Saturday on 12/15, TKP Shopping Mall (同德昆明广场）situated above KRT Baiyun Rd Station is holding a major anniversary sales event. 50% coupons up for grab every morning at 10am, which we've accumulated 900rmb worth. They can be used at Uniqlo. 600rmb max voucher accumulation per purchase for each store.
The closure of many guesthouses & businesses along Erhai Lake, particularly in Shuanglang (双廊), is compromising Dali's nostalgic quaintness & allure, much less the livelihoods of local tenants and out-of-town entrepreneurs.
As you pointed out, the evolved identity aims to maintain the town's ecological sustainability for years to come.
